copperhorse21 Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Mark, compiling that list must have taken a very long time! It's an impressive list of work and I appreciate all the time you spent compiling it. On a separate note, are we nominating stories or writers? I thought in the past we voted for writers instead of their stories? However, maybe we voted for both? IF that was the case, do you need to clarify that in your initial post under the section of Hall Of Fame Nomination Criteria? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark wilson27 Posted April 11, 2016 Author Share Posted April 11, 2016 Cheers copper it took awhile but will save me time in future years when the awards process comes round again. In this round we will be voting for both writer and story. You can nominate up to three people/stories Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhorse21 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Terk, you might need to hire Trump's Campaign Manager to aid your cause. The "miracles" being done via that campaign might serve as inspiration for your own campaign. You might want to consider some of the same strategies for your own assuming you can't afford to hire the actual campaign manager for your own bid... I'm surprised, but heartened to be running against you. Maybe you can start the smear campaign against me by commenting on my disgusting eating habits?

tenthreeleader Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 That'd be easy. Just claim you're good at everything, dodge every difficult question and have your supporters beat up your opposition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
